From today, October 5, Race Course Road is shut for 60 days. White-topping and utility works cover Maurya Junction to Hare Krishna Road. Bengaluru Traffic Police released diversion maps; expect pressure on Majestic and K.R. Market approaches during peaks.
Movement from Shivananda Junction towards Maurya Junction is barred. So is movement from Trilight Junction towards Maurya Junction. Police say the restrictions are directional, not a shutdown of every approach. The order applies for 60 days from October 5.
Bengaluru traffic alert diversions and best detours
BMTC, private and heavy vehicles to K.R. Market via Sankey Road should continue to LRDE Junction. Turn right and proceed via Basaveshwara Junction. For Majestic, use Kumara Krupa Road to Shivananda Circle, then S.C. Road. Alternatively, take Shivananda Flyover and reach S.C. Road via Nehru Circle. From Old JDS Junction, turn left at Raceview and continue on Kumara Krupa Road to Shivananda.
| Movement | Use this route | Why it helps |
|---|---|---|
| Sankey Road to K.R. Market | Windsor Manor → LRDE → Basaveshwara Junction | Skips blocked Maurya approach |
| Sankey Road to Majestic | Kumara Krupa → Shivananda Circle → S.C. Road | Reaches hub without Maurya loop |
| Trilight to Majestic | Shivananda Flyover → Nehru Circle → S.C. Road | Avoids Race Course bottleneck |
| Old JDS to Shivananda | Left at Raceview → Kumara Krupa Road | Bypasses Trilight restrictions |
Bengaluru traffic alert: airport, Mysuru, Tumakuru routes
Airport runs from the central business district are smoother via Sankey Road and Windsor Manor. Continue through Mekhri Circle and Hebbal, then Ballari Road. For Mysuru, reach Sirsi Circle early and join Mysuru Road, or use NICE near PES. For Tumakuru, prefer Sankey Road, CNR Rao Junction and Goraguntepalya on Tumakuru Road. Avoid Freedom Park and Seshadri Road approaches during office peaks.
Bengaluru traffic alert: BMTC changes and peak-hour impact
BMTC will follow these police diversions on Sankey and Kumara Krupa corridors. Expect bunching at Windsor Manor and Basaveshwara Junction. Add 20 to 30 minutes for Majestic or K.R. Market during morning and evening peaks. Note: the police maps display October 5–20, while the written notice specifies 60 days. Watch Bengaluru Traffic Police updates through the day, and follow junction signage.
